DRY is about Ideas, not Text
The principle DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) is fundamental to good programming. However, it is easily misunderstood to be about duplicated code (i e duplicated text). This leads to irrelevant coupling in the code base. Instead DRY should be understood as "not to duplicate representations of ideas".
